Sad but that is the plight of the new fisherman. Most of our la k we and divers have a narrow window of quality fishing. I wore out Shirey bay early and had decent luck. Not all that big but good eating size. It petered out when summer hit. Spring river was a pleasant surprise til that submerged tree decided to jump in my way. Gravel bars are tough also. St. Francis can be good if the water is right. It seems that if you live in Jonesboro you have to make 125-150 mile drives to fish.
